rH FlKsr OF WINE.
NORA F. HIGGrNsoN.

A AGrecian legend oft is told
OF Bacchus, God of Wine,"
How journeying on through Hellas old,
He found by chance vine.
He dug 1t up to carry home, r
"Twill wither on the way,'
So in the skeleton ofa bird
He placed it for day.
And as he farther journeyed on,
The plant the larger grew,
To keep it strong, and from all harm,
He scarce knew what to do. '
So while within Its bony bed,
In lions bone twas placed;s
And still it grew and flourished too,
Its roots well interlaced.
Ere long the lions bone proved small
An ass bone was found
And in its hollow all was put,
With dirt well packed around.
And when unto his home at last,
1hlS uhlnIy pant was DIOuBubs
The bones of bird, lion and ass
Firm in its roots were caught.
And as it throve in Naxia's soil
1t proved to be vine,
And from its grapes he thus produced
The very first of wine.
A wondrous miracle, now behold
The first of those who drank,
Began to sing like summer birds,
With wild fantastic prank.
A Alittle more, and they became
AS gallant as the lion, u
Whose bone had nurtured up the vine
From tender little scion.
The more they drank, the madder got,
And quicker passed the glasses,
Until at last in beastly state
They all behaved like uses.
